If you are given or have received any paperwork, it should have the courtroom number, date, and time that you are scheduled to appear written on it. If you do not have this paperwork and were told to be here, one of the receptionists can help you find the correct courtroom. You must know: What or for whom you are you here for?; or what are the charges against you? (i.e., traffic, misdemeanor, divorce, etc.).
